@LockeZ - have you seen my mouse?! There's no way my giant hands could hold it like that! My fingers are a lot more arched than that, and my thumb juts out to the side a lot more. I don't cup the mouse in my hand either, but I hold it in place with my fingertips. It's.. a lot less relaxed. Maybe I should get a bigger mouse..

One thing I don't get is weighted mice. Is there a particular advantage to adding weights onto it, other than lowering the cursor sensitivity? I always thought you could just do that through the computer's software rather than changing the hardware itself. Or is it just something pleasing about holding a much heavier mouse? Or maybe it doubles up as a blunt weapon..
I have one of those classic Microsoft mice. The best kind out there!

This one:

almost ten years old now and still working like a charm. (apart from the scrollwheel sometimes moving on its own)
Does a tablet count? <_<;
(I have 10 buttons if they do)

For the reason I asked the question - only if you can play 2k3 games on it :P
My old mouse had five buttons, but the sensor for it sort of died. My current mouse just has two buttons and a mouse wheel. It also jitters around on the screen at random as if it has Parkinsons disease.

Must buy new mouse.

It makes me laugh when topics like this take off.
I'm going to make a poll for "What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
This topic wasn't created out of randomness; I had a reason for asking. I put it in Welp cause...welp, I dunno.

Oh you created it? WELP nevermind. I made a 'how do you hold a pencil' topic before. We are equals now.

I did not know mouse wheel counted as button so I said two. The poll has been tainted and can no longer be cited in scientific journals.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I don't know, I was kind of curious too, so searching around on google I found a lot of people who didn't know how physics works, a lot of people who liked their mice as light as possible and threw the weights away, and one guy who I guess was having way too much fun in Battlefield because he said with a light mouse he would constantly accidentally lift his mouse up during quick movements, and eventually broke it when he apparently moved it so fast it flew off his desk.
heh I was thinking about how this topic was similar to the Post Your Desktop and Show Your Handwriting.

Ah, but since you told me about it I can correct the error. Don't expect any credit when I make it big, broski.
